ust last year, New York University was advertising questionable (and possibly illegal) unpaid internship positions at for-profit companies as educational opportunities for its students.
Since then, though, the university has overhauled its advertising policies: It has incorporated reforms that screen out exploitative internships, improve the transparency of advertisements, and provide students with more information about the legal and economic considerations of unpaid internships. In doing so, NYU has provided a new model for transitioning students into internships. It’s time for other schools to take up the model—and to improve on it.
